Bottle shared by hopscotch. Pours black with brown head. Burnt malt and boubon aromas. Roasted malt, coffee, bourbon, vanilla and oak flavors. The bourbon really dominates this beer. Full body with soft carbonation. Well done.

22oz Bomber on Pizza Plants Miss Buffalo Cruise. Courtesy of Metzger. Pours deep dark black. Bourbon dominated aroma. Big bourbon. Taste was bourbon dominated & hard to decipher anything else. Roasty malts & bourbon. Mouthfeel was a tad light. Otherwise a total treat

For this one you gotta like bourbon. Almost tastes like pure bourbon, actually. Sweet, toasted malt, molasses and caramel.

22 oz. bottle. Pours an opaque black that allows no light to pass through. Very pleasant aroma of bourbon, vanilla, and caramel. The bourbon in the aroma is the flavor itself and not the vaporous alcohol. The flavor is ever-so-slightly metallic with bourbon, caramel, vanilla, and dark fruit. Thin bodied for an imperial stout.

Bottle at PPRBSG09. Pours dark brown. Aroma is completely bourbon. Flavor is also bourbony with a faint background of roasted malt. Am I drinking bourbon or beer? Tastes exactly the same as the bourbon aged imperial porter...like bourbon. 4/3/5/2/10 (2.4/5)

Bottle. Aroma quite boozy with some alcohol-soaked fruits. Flavor gets much richer than the nose indicated with the chocolate and roasted malt notes one would expect from such a beer. Tasty.

Bottle at PilsnerPeter’s Spring Gathering. Pours a nice black with a light tan head. Isopropyl mostly on the nose, with some roast, and a light bourbon note, but mostly rubbing alcohol. Medium bodied and roasty, with more roast coming through on a light bitter finish. I was expecting more.

Pours out a thick black color with a nice thicker tan head. aroma was big on oak, vanilla, choco, and of course my favorite, bourbon. Flavor was very much the same and the alcohol is very well hidden. nice brew.
